by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Wie schändlich du gehandelt
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wie schändlich du gehandelt, Ich hab es den Menschen verhehlet, Und bin hinausgefahren aufs Meer, Und hab es den Fischen erzählet. Ich laß dir den guten Namen Nur auf dem festen Lande; Aber im ganzen Ozean Weiß man von deiner Schande.
